about

small towns....you either knew this couple...or were this couple!

lyrics

Burn, Baby, Burn

I.
we grew up together underneath a couple thousand eyes

ya get away with nothin' in a town this size

they'd see us fighting on the playground when we were scrawny kids

they probably caught us at a dance, havin' our first kiss

they gossiped when I wrecked your truck and ran your boat aground

dabbed those eyes when I married you in momma's wedding gown

CHORUS:

so smile pretty for the camera, maybe it'll last forever

or at least until the house burns down

you and I together, always play with fire

a lesson we won't ever learn

and everybody sits back and watches as we burn, baby burn

II.

we keep comin' back to the same old fights and fits

the whole town talks about us wonderin' if we'll call it quits

they see us fighting in the bar now, like two scrawny kids

next time we're slow dancin' and savorin' a kiss

both declare it's over.... the point of no return

then we're right back at it cause we wanna feel the burn

BRIDGE:

why can't we extinguish the flame that burns between you and me

guess we're no good at puttin' out fires cause we wanna use gasoline

CHORUS June 2, 2014

about

Ellen Moseley St. Augustine, Florida

I'm one of those leftty players that turns right-handed instruments up-side-down and plays 'em that way. All these songs are homegrown/home recorded...no artificial colorings or flavors added! Everything you hear is me (lyrics, vocals, guitar, harmonica, banjo, ukulele, keys, and sound engineering) except the lead guitar on Rabbit Blues...that was Nate Nakadate.
Hope you enjoy a coupla listens!
